Xypex Admix C-1000 NF

  • Xypex Admix C-1000 NF

Non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete that permanently seals the concrete and prevents the penetration of water


Available Options

XYPEX ADMIX C-1000 NF is added to the concrete mix at the time of batching. Xypex Admix C-1000 NF consists of Portland cement and various active, proprietary chemicals.

These active chemicals react with the moisture in fresh concrete and with the by-products of cement hydration to cause a catalytic reaction.

This reaction generates a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete that permanently seals the concrete and prevents the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction. The Xypex Admix C-Series has been specially formulated to meet varying project and temperature conditions. Xypex Admix C-1000 NF is designed for concrete, where normal to a mild retarded set is desired.

Description

Xypex is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing, protection and improvement of concrete. XYPEX ADMIX C-1000 NF is added to the concrete mix at the time of batching. Xypex Admix C-1000 NF consists of Portland cement and various active, proprietary chemicals. These active chemicals react with the moisture in fresh concrete and with the by-products of cement hydration to cause a catalytic reaction.

Xypex Admix C-Series

All variations of the Admix C-Series contain the same amount of reactive chemicals at their prescribed dosage rates and provide the same waterproofing and durability performance characteristics. Xypex Admix C-Series is available in regular or no-fines grades (NF). Xypex Admix C-500/C-500 NF is formulated to have minimal or no effect on setting time. Xypex Admix C-1000/C-1000 NF is formulated for concrete mix designs where a normal or mildly delayed set is desired. Xypex Admix C-2000/ C-2000 NF is designed for warmer climates and projects where a slower hydration rate is typically required. See Setting Time and Strength for more details. Consult with a Xypex Technical Services Representative for the most appropriate Xypex Admix for your project.

Compliance

Xypex Admix C-1000 NF complies with the requirements of AS 1478.1-2000, Chemical Admixture for Concrete, For Special Purpose Normal-Setting (Type SN) Admixture. Recommended for:

  • Reservoirs
  • Sewage and Water Treatment Plants
  • Secondary Containment Structures
  • Tunnels and Subway Systems
  • Underground Vaults
  • Foundations / Basements
  • Parking Structures
  • Swimming Pools
  • Precast Components
  • Bridge Structures

Advantages

  • Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure
  • Becomes an integral part of the concrete
  • Highly resistant to aggressive and chemical environments
  • Can seal static hairline cracks up to 0.4 mm
  • Allows concrete to breathe
  • Non-toxic
  • Less costly to apply than most other methods
  • Added to the concrete at time of batching and therefore is not subject to climatic restraints
  • Permanent
  • Increases flexibility in construction scheduling

Packaging

Xypex Admix C-1000 NF is available in 20 kg buckets, and 15 kg buckets containing 5 x 3 kg soluble bags. For large projects, customised packaging is available.

Storage

Xypex products must be stored dry at a minimum temperature of 7ºC. Shelf life is one year when stored in unopened containers under proper conditions.

Dosage Rates

Xypex Admix C-1000 NF (No Fines Grade): 0.8% - 1.2% by weight of cementitious content

NOTE: For determining the appropriate dosage rate and for further information regarding concrete mixes containing supplementary cementitious materials (SCM’s), enhanced chemical resistance, optimum concrete performance, or meeting the specific requirements and conditions of your project, consult with the local Xypex Technical Services Representative or Xypex Australia’s Technical Services Department.
